Many people compare Animal Crossing to Disney’s Dreamlight Valley. You can’t go wrong, because there are many similarities. However, Dreamlight Valley’s progression is handled very differently. Dreamlight Valley draws from a vast catalog and has the potential to deliver profound experiences for years to come.
The game starts with creating a character and the options are impressive. There are several different body types, hairstyles, etc. to choose from, but also plenty of cultural clothing.
Learn more about the story behind Dreamlight Valley soon. Your character returns to his childhood home to find much of the house and surrounding area in ruins. After this narrative segment, you will be transported to Dreamlight Valley where Merlin welcomes you. He explains that after the ruler of Dreamlight Valley left many years ago, black vines began to rule the valley, causing oblivion. I lost my memory. It’s up to you to get them back. To do so, Merlin will send you on a quest to find his three tools left by the ruler. Fishing rod, pickaxe, watering can, shovel. Each device opens a new quest to complete. This is the big difference between Animal Crossing and Dreamlight Valley. Every character you meet offers you new quests. You are free to complete them in any order you like. But the game definitely has a story that wants to move forward, and it does so through traditional quest gameplay.
Dreamlight Valley has several different currencies. The main one is Dreamlight, which involves completing quests for Disney characters and tasks such as catching different fish, talking to different characters, cooking different meals, and removing dark vines. Dreamlights open up new areas and new Disney worlds for you to explore.
Another type is gold coins. These are collected by removing vines or selling crafted or grown items. Gold coins can be used to buy home and character cosmetics from Uncle Scrooge. Scrooge’s shop has a variety of everyday items similar to Nook’s Cranny in Animal Crossing. This encourages you to play the game every day, just like Animal Crossing.
Another kind of currency is moonstone. This is currency that you get using real money (although you can find chests with some moonstones in them around the world). Upon full release, Disney Dreamlight Valley will be a free-to-play game. However, if you want to play Early Access now, you’ll need to purchase the Founders’ Pack, which includes Moonstone. Moonstones allow you to purchase special events that work like Season Passes for other free games.
The event that was happening when I played for review was Pixar Star Fest. For example, I bought an Incredibles outfit for my character and Buzz his Lightyear display his case for my home. These events are purely cosmetic and there are still many things you can do without having special events, so I like that I don’t have to spend money to play the game once the full version is released. increase.
The game’s best feature is opening up new Disney worlds and recruiting those characters to populate Dreamlight Valley. For example, I opened the world of Moana and met Moana and Maui. Of course, Moana had to complete a few quests before Dreamlight returned to her Valley, but that’s part of the game’s charm and keeps it fresh.
Completing villagers’ quests will also level up your friendship with them. Leveling it up will unlock new recipes, cosmetics, gold coins, and much more. You can also ask fellow Dreamlight citizens of his Valley to participate in household chores such as fishing and cooking. This will also increase your friendship with them. Inviting them along will also help you get extra items. For example, when I took Moana fishing, she gave me extra fish.
There were some bugs I encountered while playing early access. After clearing Goofy’s quest, he gave me a lot of seeds. Completing the quest was supposed to unlock new quests from him, but instead, every time I spoke to him, he said thank you for completing the previous request. has a lot of seeds now, but I’d love to see what else he has to offer.
I’ve also noticed some performance issues with the game when playing on my TV. I noticed that the music was choppy in parts and there was a lag when trying to render everything that was going on in the game. If so, it’s not a great experience.
